Week 4 - Surfing the Tsunami

 Adapting

Adapting to artificial intelligence needs to become common place.  With the expansion of AI to all areas of life, one needs to be aware and learn how to adapt. In the book, Surfing the Tsunami, references smartphones and how we have become so dependent on them.  I started to think of my use of the phone.  My phone has the capability of opening my garage or tracking my children's whereabouts.  Not only that, it is used for everything else such as shopping and checking personal and work emails.  Our minds are always engaged.

Adapting to the growth of AI may be difficult and it has to be integrated into your life.  You can start the habits by utilizing a calendar on your phone to track your "things to do" and record events. Utilizing these tools will familiarize you to the technology available at your fingertips.  

To become more adaptable to AI, reading and analyzing data will be helpful. Readings from New York Times and Wall Street Journal are good places to start.  As you learn more and more about AI and how it is changing the way the world does things, you will begin to understand and hopefully embrace what is to come in the way of artificial intelligence.
